"This is a wonderfully odd consideration of those questions about love, pain, solitude and human connection we all ask; its emotional power creeps out from under the subtle humor and leaves a subcutaneous imprint that lingers long after the movie is over."

- David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter

"There’s something strange and dreamlike and delicate and beautiful about Anomalisa, an animated film for grown-ups that takes a long while to make its point, but does so with a dark brilliance."

"Charlie Kaufman is back – with a wistful, resonant film, a bracing, wry, honest dose of cinematic melancholy."

- Lee Marshall, Screen International

"With spot-on vocal performances from Thewlis, Leigh and Tom Noonan, the film is nothing less than mesmerizing — and must viewing for serious cinephiles."

- Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Singular and stunning ..."

- Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

"Anomalisa’s existence is a minor miracle on multiple levels, from the Kickstarter campaign that funded it to the oh-so-delicate way the film creeps up on you, transitioning from a low-key dark night of the soul into something warm, human and surprisingly tender."

- Peter Debruge, Variety

"Filtered through Kaufman's searching mind and soulful brilliance, the result is a masterpiece."

- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

"It's Chekhovian screwball, a perfect little tale of love (or thereabouts) in bloom among the weeds of an ordinary life. It feels like a classic already."

- Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

"Anomalisa is an extraordinarily wise film about the reasons we turn to other people and the enormous difficulty of doing so."
